“Everyone manages risk.” Jeff Curtis, the director of Strategic Planning and Enterprise Transformation at the Defense Logistics Agency, says that no matter what you do, at work or at home, you manage all kinds of risk every day. At some point, your agency will have to decide whether to do it in a more organized, deliberate way. DLA has, using enterprise risk management (ERM) tools. Mr. Curtis joined me in studio, along with DLA’s lead strategic planner, Linda Stacy-Nichols, and Jeff Stagnitti, the Chief Risk Officer at DLA. We had a wide-ranging discussion about what ERM tools are, why the agency adopted them, how they tested them, and how using ERM tools have produced a better result for DLA’s end user – the war fighter.
